Fred, It could also be said to be disturbing if one were to inappropriately develop a belief system based on a literal hermeneutic that is unwarranted. Could...

sigEd, With a little investigation into history, you'll find that pagans are forever trying to avoid death into nothingness. As a matter of fact, if you...
manimal, At this point in time I do hold a young earth belief. I have not taken the time to thoroughly study the subject. Blessings, Fred bjbandjdb@......
Greetings Manimal, Like I said you need to read the whole verse very very closely. 1John 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth ALSO the law: for sin is...
sigEd, Deal with what Jude said about the "eternal fire" of Sodom and Gomorrah. Souls still burning??? Isn't that sadistic??? God said choose life. The...

sigEd, You brought up "fire that is never quenched" - now you say that is not a factor in your view. That's what it says, Ed. It doesn't mean that literally,...
sigEd, You said below that the idea of people roasting for eternity simply means that God is not "some puff joy factory, but a God of wrath". I must ask all...
